Title: How do I hide my internet traffic? Post by: SMOKEU on September 07, 2011, 02:08:44 AM I'm worried that the government over here is watching what people download, so what is the easiest way to hide my traffic? I'm looking at hiding p2p traffic for Bittorrent downloads and was thinking about setting up a VPN. I'm prepared to pay up to US$10 a month to hide my traffic, but since I'm a complete noob at this kind of thing I'm after something that is as easy as possible to configure as well as giving me a high level of anonymity.

Title: Re: How do I hide my internet traffic? Post by: SMOKEU on September 07, 2011, 06:15:18 AM If I use a VPN can I set it up that only torrent traffic goes through the VPN? I don't want all my traffic to go through the VPN as the ping for online gaming would suck balls.

what was Iamapedophileandliketolookatchildporn.com was already take? not suggesting any of you are, it just seems like a bad name for a site to hide your traffic, much like a cloud storage site called myillegaldownloads.com wouldnt be exactly the most brilliant of names.

Read: he's afraid his mother might find out he's been looking at pornotube.com There are new laws where I could get huge fines or my internet connection cut off if a copyright holder complains to my ISP that I've been infringing upon their work by downloading their material from p2p services. It's also "guilty until proven innocent", meaning that they (the ISP, government or copyright holder) don't have to provide any evidence that I have been doing what they could accuse me of. The mere accusation of copyright infringement is enough to be prosecuted. Title: Re: How do I hide my internet traffic?

The mere accusation of copyright infringement is enough to be prosecuted. No thats entirely not true. Anyone could be a copy right holder and then get anyone else charged? nope. you wont get caught doing anything if all your doing is downloading. If your providing links to torrents, or have been uploading the stuff, then theres a 1 in 100,000,000 chance they might care. They couldnt give 2 shits what you download. A few years ago our house got raided from some fraud aligation that eventually got dropped. as they were taking the computers, they said they are not interested in that. even though my computer was loaded with TB's of warez, they still gave it back! The most that might happen is your ISP could find out and send you a letter. Thats all i had once, but nothing since. and i carried on. Title: Re: How do I hide my internet traffic?

Post by: SMOKEU on September 21, 2011, 12:01:22 AM With the way it is here, if a copyright rights holder (say, a big music or movie company) were to go to torrent sites and see a whole list of IP addresses which are being used to illegally share work which they "own", then they could complain to my ISP and give them a letter requesting that my ISP takes action. Before this new law came into force, the ISP was not legally obligated to do anything about this when copyright holders complained. I think the chances of getting caught are minimal as most of the stuff I download is not produced by major record companies (I download a lot of dubstep and drum and bass) and the odd movie every couple of weeks.
